I would guess that Harry's watch, which he's mentioned as wearing at the
beginning of PS/SS, was given to him by the Dursleys.  Not for Harry's sake,
but for their own, so that he'd be on time for things.

It could have been a "spare" watch that originally belonged to Dudley, which
he discarded when he got a better one with more gizmos and doo-dads.  Just
like Harry's clothes at the Dursleys are hand-me-downs from his cousin, his
watch could be as well.

--Eric, who would love an explanation about why Harry's former headmistress
never seemed to notice how bad Harry had it.
